10 William Hacket In 1591, William Hacket made a rather meteoric rise from servant to well-off widow’s husband to Jesus Christ. The illiterate former servant had recently married a rich widow and had already reduced them to poverty when he decided that he was capable of performing miracles. This, in turn, obviously made him the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. His followers claimed that the divine aura surrounding him when he prayed was unmistakable. They were so convinced of his divinity that they were willing to overlook his insane temper. One time, Hacket bit off someone’s nose simply because he didn’t like that person.
After making the rounds of a handful of smaller English towns, Hacket headed to London and appointed two men to be his prophets. One was the prophet of mercy, and the other was the prophet of punishment. While he headed into Cheapside and preached about the Bishop of Canterbury’s treason against God and Queen Elizabeth’s unworthiness to be queen—punctuated by declarations of his immortality and invincibility—his prophets went farther into the city to spread his word to even more people.

If any of this sounds like a bad idea, it absolutely was. Queen Elizabeth got word of it, had his prophets arrested, and put Hacket on trial for treason for suggesting that she shouldn’t be queen. His other actions—such as taking an iron poker to her picture—got him convicted and sentenced to death. When Hacket was marched to the scaffold, he proclaimed that God had absolutely no choice but to rescue him. Otherwise, he was going to be giving God the old what for when he got to heaven.

9 David Shayler. Photo credit: Ex-MI5 officer David Shayler was once in the middle of a massive expose on some pretty nasty stuff done by the British intelligence division. He claimed that MI5 had some shady dealings with the IRA and that MI6 was funding Islamic radicals. Needless to say, MI5 no longer wanted to employ him after his revelations, so he had some revelations of his own.

Shayler became a transvestite that preferred to be called Delores and insisted that he was the latest reincarnation of Jesus Christ. According to Shayler, he is following a long line of previous reincarnations of Jesus, putting him in such fine company as King Arthur, Macbeth, and most recently, Che Guevara. Shayler claims that he realized his divinity when he had a premonition of a bombing in a London nightclub in 2007. To further support his theories, he discovered that the engravings on the staff carried by Moses’s older brother in the Old Testament were an anagram of the words, “David Shayler, Righteous King.” He was also pretty sure that his John the Baptist was BBC presenter David Icke, who famously claimed that the world was run.
Icke, though, focused too much on the negative, while Shayler (and his assembled, drug-addled followers) wants to focus on the prophecies and the humorous side of religion.
